Toukiden: The Age of Demons demo out on PS Vita today

As previously blogged, Toukiden: The Age of Demons for the PS Vita is coming to Europe on 14th February. Our team has prepared a demo which should serve as an excellent way to introduce players to the vast and beautiful world of Toukiden, and it’s available to download on PlayStation Store following today’s update.

Spanning the entire first and part of the second chapter of the game, this comprehensive 10 hour sampler will also include full access to character customisation, all six weapon types and equipment upgrades.

It also allows for a trial of the online environment, which plays a pivotal role in the enjoyment of Toukiden. In the full version, players will be able to team up with up to three others to try and defeat the Oni. To give prospective fans the opportunity to fully appreciate the battle system and co-op, the demo will allow up to seven multiplayer missions to be completed.
Players can carry on their save data-equipment, obtained weapons/armour/mitama, materials (up to 30 slots), story progress, and a part of their Haku (in-game currency) – to the full version of the game.

I’ve highlighted the full demo content below with details provided by the development team:

First chapter fully playable, and up to the middle of second chapter can be played

Save data: 1 slot only (full game allows for three slots). Demo save data (equipment, obtained weapons/armor/mitama, materials, story progress, Haku (capped)) will carry over to the full game, but Settings will not.

Max no. of materials: Materials chest will carry a max of 30 slots, and up to five of each material can be held

Trophies cannot be obtained in the demo version

Character settings (customisation): same as full game version

Multiplayer: Seven missions can be played

Equipment, weapons can be upgraded (same as full game)

The file size of the demo is 989 MB.

Toukiden: The Age of Demons will be out on 14th February across Europe for PS Vita. For more information, please visit the official site.

Finally, Finally, Finally it seems like forever since I first heard about this game and then longer than forever to see it finally appear as a pre-order. I would like to know which retailer is giving the extra levels as a pre-order as I haven’t seen those being offered anywhere as incentive. Will the extra levels be offered later as dlc?

Mr. comunity manager – why KOEI ignore my problem with Atelier Ayesha trophies in japanese at cz.playstation.com/psn/mypsn/trophies/ ??? For over one year KOEI support isn’t able to answer me even single e-mail from many i sent? Does KOEI suppor even exist? Could i expect the same problem with Atelier Escha and Logy?

This just the start of a nice little run of games coming out vita in next couple months: Toukiden, Ys Celceta, Deception 4, Trigger Happy Havoc, Final Fantasy X/X2, and a couple Lego games (not really my thing). Future is bright.

Really great demo guys I was glued to it all evening, You have a preorder from me. I’m hoping I can work playing this around Lightning Returns and Tales ( I’m sure it will come in handy in hospital waiting rooms):) damn February is an expensive month.

Will the pre-order bonus for the 2 missions also be introduced on amazon.de, or will it be amazon.co.uk only? Shipping over here from UK is kinda expensive and I’m starting to get a bit annoyed that so many promos are UK only.

On another unrelated, and thoroughly chewed, note: Is there any information regarding the “Buy Vita, register before 2014, and receive one month of psplus”-deal?

@Chin Soon Sun I appreciate that you answered him (and I am shocked that you did), but… Look, we all know what’s up. Nobody at Tecmo Koei Europe cared to spend an hour to google what “russian rating system” actually is (no, it’s not a rating board like PEGI, it’s a statement publisher issues themselves). Normal publishers adapted it instantly, because it requires no money or effort. Backwards publishers took their time, like NISA, because they wanted it explained by their local partner, but still eventually went through with it because again – no money, no effort.
And here’s Tecmo Koei Europe, all it’s former Russian customers are not worth a couple hours of research by one of their employees.
At any rate if Tecmo has something constructive to say here, or make an official statement, we’d be glad to hear it.

I hope more game will be localize. If game like this keep coming on PS Vita, it will boost up Sony’s PS Vita sales and people also will enjoy more on their PS Vita. Complain will be lesser and we also got more choice to what game we want to play. This is just a kick start. I’m looking forward for more.

so i cant get this demo, looked on the store couldn’t. I went to the site and after alot of searching found it, but whenever i click try free demo and sign in it says error “Sign in Failed, if the problem persists contact customer support”. Don’t have this problem with anything else so whats wrong ?
